23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
5lb lower than last winning mark and came close to taking advantage when finding only Vantheman too strong at Hamilton (5f, good) last week; meets that rival on 5lb better terms; should be involved in the shake-up once more. |
12/1 |

2nd 11 (8) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner who boasts a good record at this time of year; will always be reliant on some luck given his hold-up style, which he hasn't had this year; on a handy mark when things do fall his way again, though, and is one to consider. |
6/1 |

5th 7 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Trouble in running on both AW starts last month and same story at Pontefract last time, in the circumstances doing well to finish eighth of 13 from 4lb out of the handicap; he has a good record at Pontefract but could play a leading role off his proper mark today if getting the breaks. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a win since May 2023 when previously trained by this yard and he's since dropped a long way in the weights; below his best at Catterick (6f, soft; first-time visor) a week ago and needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Course record of 3-9 includes a nose defeat of Quercus off topweight in this race in 2022 (good to firm); 5lb wrong this time and effectiveness on soft or worse untested since September 2021; debuted visor no certainty to inspire, all seven wins having been gained free of headgear. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped sharply the last twice, so needs to bounce back in a major way; however, looks difficult to dismiss, having scored over C&D (off 3lb lower) on last AW appearance. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (15) |
20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Smart earlier in career, when acting on soft; revived since wind surgery, winning on AW then a luckless third at Beverley (5f, good); however, he finished nearer last than first at Ayr since and left on the same mark. |
12/1 |
|
15th 10 (16) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In great form since having wind surgery, winning at Newcastle (AW) then unlucky third at Beverley (good; would likely have won with clearer run); raised only 1lb for latest effort and commands respect. |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Clear signs of a return to form in big field at Thirsk last month, finishing third (best of the near-side runners); defied a 7lb higher mark in this contest last year (good to firm) on sole start under Elle-May Croot; respected. |

5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
On a career-low mark and there's been a couple of hints of promise this year, but he's 0-17 since winning on his debut in 2021 and others have more compelling credentials; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
11/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
30th May 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He's won just one of his 17 starts and has a regressive profile; however, he kept on for a fair sixth of 13 at Catterick (5f, good) last time and this step back up to 6f is worth a go; not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (12) |
13th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-11 and inconsistent for current stable but may benefit from the drop back to Class 6; runner-up off 11lb higher in this grade last June; good chance if back to that form. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple winner, including here; quiet this season but it was the same last campaign before he won on his third outing; handy mark. |
20/1 |
|
17th 1 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-time winner, including twice over C&D; shaped as if retaining ability when eighth of ten at Nottingham (40-1) on return but may need another run to put him spot-on. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-time winner but reappearance record suggests he's probably best watched on this seasonal debut, unless the market speaks positively. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Has tumbled down the weights in the past year but rather struggled in four runs back following wind surgery; hard to enthuse about. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

5f-6f winner when trained in Ireland, including on heavy; placed in all four starts for this trainer but needs to pull out a bit more for a first British success. |
